Geocache Description:

Part of what will hopefully be a series of caches along footpaths around the village of Finningham.
This path is very muddy in place.The path surface and length of the walk are the reason for T rating. I have based it on the worst conditions you might encounter. I suggest parking at the Church for this path, if you do this as a circular or straight there and back you are looking at less than 2 miles start to finish.

This bridge is a shrine to the youth of Finningham!
If you ignore the painted/sprayed graffiti and focus on the carvings in the brick I imagine them to be a who's who of the last 3 decades at least (I've assumed that the 1899 one is probably not genuine!)
I know not everyone will see it as I do, but for me it's a bit of social history in an otherwise blank and hidden away railway bridge.

You are looking for a black canister similar in size to a 35mm film pot. Cacher's eye should make this one easy to find, if it looks carefully placed it probably is!

Coordinates were very difficult to get for this one as the bridge blocks signals. If gps lets you down or my workings don't prove quite right, go to the East end and walk 5 paces back in.
